The rehearsal dinner goes smoothly, though I’m not sure why the word “rehearsal” is even in there, since there’s no actual rehearsing. The evening consists of a dozen heartfelt speeches, tears from the parents, and Marcy blushing every time someone forces her and Devon to kiss by tapping a utensil against a wineglass.

And talk about jarring—Devon and Evan are identical. Not fraternal twins, but completely indistinguishable from each other, features-wise. The only reason I can tell them apart is because Evan is wearing a black suit and Devon is in navy-blue. Oh, and also because every time Evan’s sultry gaze lands on me, I know without a doubt he’s imagining me naked.

The jerk is downright smoldering, the heat he’s generating actually causing beads of sweat to break out at the nape of my neck. By the time dessert is over, I’m eager to get out of there. But Marcy won’t let me leave. She wants me to get to know the other two bridesmaids, whom I’ve never met. Natalie and Robin seem nice enough, but it’s hard to concentrate on getting to know them when Evan is getting to know me with his eyes.

“Excuse me,” I blurt out when Robin pauses to take a breath. She’d just spent the past ten minutes describing her work at NASA to me. Yup, another fucking astronaut, but she works at a facility in Florida, not Washington.

“The best man is waving me over,” I say, injecting an apologetic note into my tone. “Hopefully it’s not some last-minute hiccup about tomorrow.”

“Oh, go ahead,” she says instantly, shooing me away. “We don’t want a single hiccup to ruin Marcy’s big day.”

“I agree.”

Without delay, I march toward Evan, who’s leaning against one of the huge exposed beams in the restaurant. Several of the tables in the center of the room have been cleared away to create a dance floor, and he’s watching the band set up. But his gaze immediately shifts to me as I approach.

I cross my arms. “Can you please stop?” I order through gritted teeth.

He smiles innocently. “Stop what?”

“Looking at me.”

“Oh, now I’m not allowed to look at you?”

“No, you’re not. It’s making me uncomfortable.”

He narrows his eyes “Really.”

“Really. I told you, last night was a one-time thing. I don’t need to be constantly reminded of it with you looking at me like a horny hyena.”

“Encountered many horny hyenas in your day, have you?”

“Shut up. You know what I mean.”

“Fine. I’ll stop looking at you. That is, if you agree to go to dinner with me.”

“We just had dinner,” I mutter. “And tomorrow’s the wedding, where we’ll eat another dinner, and then the day after that I’m going home.”

“I know. I want you to have dinner with me when we get back. We both live in D.C., remember?”

“Pass.”

He rolls his eyes. “You’re honestly going to stand there and tell me that you didn't have the best sex of your life with me last night?”

“I’m not saying the sex wasn’t good. I’m saying I don’t want to go out with you.
